apparent, is becoming less and less profit
able, although manufacturing is steadily in
creasing and the condition of the working
people is improving.
THE Cologne Gazette says that Germany
has profited by the Boulanger craze, for
from Cologne no less that 20, 600 pictures OF
Boulanger were sent to Paris, which sold
readily at ~ francs apiece.
AT Rome and some other places in Italy
the curious observation has been made that
a thermometer in the shade sometimes lndl-
Gates a higher temperature than thermom-
eter in the sun, particularly when strong
wind strikes the latter instrument.
In England men and women battle sepa-
rately, and at distance from each other.
The use of bathing carriages and the sepa-
ration of sexes implies that bathing is re-
garded as private affair, and should be
conducted with refinement and decency.
EaYPr is spoken of as a land of onion cul-
ture. Large quantities are yearly shipped
to Europe from Alexandria and other ports.
A few wears ago the trade hardly existed,
while in two months of last year alone a.
coo tons were shipped to Liverpool
The electric light is now being used IN
certain London omnibuses; 6ve-candled
incandescent lamp is fitted in the focus OF
an hexagonal reflector. The current is sup
piled by a battery under the drivers seat,
enclosed in wooden box about seven inches
by seven inches by two feet long.
LONDON tradesmen are now utilizing the
trycicle for delivering their goods. They
have gaudily painted boxes with their adj
vertisement on the sides mounted on try
c,ele, which is worked by boy from seat
behind the box. Of course the London
streets are so well paved that they ADMIT OF

QUEEN V1cToRIA's granddaughter, Prln-
cess Feodore of xe-Meiningen, IS a little
girl Of eight years, but is SAID TO possess
the air and carriage OF woman grown. At
the Jubilee service at Westminster Abbey
she walked up the abbey, bowling and
snoilinr at every step, in such an inimitable
fashion as to charm the assembly, which,
to her delight, rose to do her honor. She is
described as pretty, intelligent and strongly
resembling portraits by the old school artists.

Emmons ana Walker Blaine,

Z Mr.. Blaine,s two sons, who are citizens Of
Chicago, both live at the Union Club. OF
tho two, Emmons, the elder, would attract
the most glances. His nearly white hair
sets of his sWarthy complexion and black
mustache. He has the Blaine features.
Emmons Blaine is q railroader. He entered
the service Of the Chicago & Northwestern
Company as q clerk, passing through one
subordinate position after another till he be-
came assistant to the general freight agent
When the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe OBJ
tanned an entrance into Chicago he was
made general freight agent Of that COM
pany. In railroad circles he is spoken Of as
q capable man. IT is said that native ability
alone lifted him, But it is probable the idea
win always exist that influence aided.
Walker Blaine, the youngest, IS lawyer.
Both Of the brothers go into society q good
deal, but both are unobtrusiye, quiet, in
fact, somewhat retiring.

I made my bars Of tempered steel,
And set them up to guard my heart;
vowed no pain ere should feel,
Or, wounded, bow to Cupid's art.
shut my eyes and would not see
The sly gods glances thrown at me.
Cupid was cunning, and he bid
A little soldier to the field.
I smiled, as old Goliah did
To no such pigmy would yield.
Alas, man always feels 50 tall
About the time he's sure to fall
The pigmy came, with golden curls
A saucy nose and dimpled chin,
Two shining rows OF sweetest pearls
Were set her cherry lips within.
She breathed upon the bars, and lol
My heart was captured by the foe.
Revenge is sweet, as Byron states,
n And had mine, as you shall see:
She jumped within; shut tho gates,--
And then the mink could not get free.
: Yes, I'm cruel, as you surmise;
I'll hold her captive till she dies.
